10. Although variance analysis can be very complex, the main guide is common sense. Going under budget is a positive variance, and over budget is a negative variance, but positive variances aren't always good news.

Product sales are below expectations for this same period. Could the advertising missed in February be a possible cause? Yes, of course it could. Final Notes
